[Musculus Penis Canis]
Taste: Salty. Nature: Neutral. Indications: Mainly treats impotence (Yin痿) caused by injury to the middle jiao (Middle Burner). It strengthens and heats the genitalia, promoting fertility. It eliminates twelve types of leukorrhea (Dai Xia) diseases in women. Also known as "Dog Essence Gallbladder." [Mingmu] (Improves vision).
[Caprae Cornu / Ram's Horn]
Indications: Mainly improves vision.
(Eulogy) Why discard an old umbrella? Cook dog meat in the East. Yin is solid and firm within, Yang arises to initiate posterity. Like horses mating in spring, like wind attracting cattle. [Zhaodan Tang] (Gallbladder Illuminating Decoction) regulates the mixture; it can distinguish the finest down of autumn.
The *Book of Rites* states: An old umbrella is not discarded because it is used to bury a dead dog. It also states: Cooking dog meat in the east aligns with the emission of Yang Qi from the east. Zhang Hua's poem reads: "Solidifying Yin, cold nodes rise."
The *I Ching* (Book of Changes) states: "By being firm and central." The *Spring and Autumn Kao Yi* records: You dogs are born in the third month, as Yang Qi arises at three. The *Book of Jin* records: "Perpetually initiating one's descendants." The commentary on the *Rites of Zhou* records: In mid-spring, mating occurs, referring to the pairing of male and female horses. The commentary on the *Zuo Zhuan* explains: "Wind horses and cattle" refers to males and females attracting each other, termed "wind." Yu Xin's fu writes: "Illuminating the gallbladder and illuminating the heart." The *Shengji Zonglu* (General Records of Holy Relief) records: Collect dog gallbladder on the first Wu day, take with wine, to treat purulent discharge from the eyes. Mencius states: Vision sufficient to observe the tip of an autumn hair.
[Continuation on Caprae Cornu]
Taste: Salty. Nature: Cold. Indications: Mainly improves vision, benefits Qi, raises Yin, removes evil blood. Treats diarrhea, wards off Gu poison (parasitic disease/toxin), and dispels ominous ghosts. Calms the Heart Qi, ensuring peaceful sleep without insomnia.
Habitat: Grows in rivers and valleys.
(Eulogy) Its efficacy is unique from the Western Regions. The segments bend and extend, showing spirituality. Marks are crinkled, round like a grasp. When calling, it gathers to listen from the side. Teeth break apart like unspooled threads; striking stone makes it shatter like ice. Wise craftsmen hang wood, preventing harm in the dark night.
Zhang Yue's memorial states: "Efficacy unique in the spiritual park." The commentary on the *Erya* explains: Large sheep, now found among the Man tribes in Jianping, Yidu, etc., and in the Western Regions; some have two horns, some one. The horns have many knotted segments, circular and winding. The *Book of Jin* records: Dragons show spirituality through bending and stretching. Su Song says: The segments resemble the marks left by human fingers gripping. Chen Cangqi says: If held to the ear and it produces a buzzing sound, it is good quality. Yu Xin's fu writes: "Falling horns, breaking teeth." The preface to the *Jin Gu Zhi* (Ancient and Modern Notes) states: Ice melts and unravels like threads. The *Book of Documents* states: I strike the stones, I stroke the stones. The *Huanyu Zhi* (Records of the Universe) notes: Tapir bone serves as Buddha's tooth; objects cannot break it, but striking it with ram's horn shatters it. Diamond, tempered a hundred times, does not melt; knocking it with ram's horn causes it to crack like ice. The *Pi Ya* records: Sheep hang their horns on wood at night to prevent disaster.
